For Me, Over Me


Don't lay

Your heart

In my hands

Not tonight

Don't call me baby girl

Not anymore

Not when your world

Is about to explode

With one blow

Don't turn

Your back on me

Don't roll your eyes

At me

Don't tell me to stay

Don't make me say

The words

We both know

You can't stand to hear

Don't make me

Bring to life your worst fear

 

You held so tight

It felt so right

How could love

Feel so wrong

You and me

No one else

Tonight

In this empty hotel room

When did breathing

Get so hard

With you here

When did 

I stop feeling

And seeing

You're so good

So pure

It burns

Just knowing

How good you are

 

Don't call my name

Don't call me

Baby girl

Don't reach for me

Don't come after me

Don't run

Don't chase

Don't cry

For me

Over someone like me

Don't bleed

Not for me

Don't beg

Don't plead

Not with me

For me

Over me

Please

Don't die

For me

Over me
